#and 'im a cavalier with a rapier and a cavalier before her' (as in chivalrous/a gentleman) in german

[to-to-karamba]

I know I'm hella depressed because I'm considering writing a paper about the Russian and German translations of the locked tomb just for fun

#the locked tomb #tlt #me stuff #i just find that stuf fascinating #like 'first flower of my house: becomes 'first bloosom of my house' (more or less) #or Griddle in russian is just the word for griddle which is read like seeto #which makes 0 sense #and the primarried joke bwcomes something like 'i was first in all senses' (bc cavalier became something like first knight) in russian #and 'im a cavalier with a rapier and a cavalier before her' (as in chivalrous/a gentleman) in german #i wish i knew more languages :( #also i wish i could find harrow the ninth in german for free since i cant buy it but alas #harrow has so may cool things for a translator #the translation of untranslatable things is my favorite thing ever and harrow is chock-full of them #like none house witheft grief #somebody gift me the german version of harrow 🥺
